Comment:
I love Dr. Troup. He's really funny and reminds me of me in that he's awkward. The works we read are often funny/messed up/messed up and funny, so discussion is really great. I believe we had at least one in-class essay that we were able to prepare for and at least one essay/exam that was take-home. Also had to memorize and recite some Chaucer.

Comment:
Although Dr. Troup comes across very dry and emotionless initially, he is a true English nerd. I LOVE how he takes the time to write out his lectures on the board, although, it does take a lot of class time. His tests are straight from the lecture and his study guides are identical to the test. I highly recommend him!

Lots of quizzes, 10 responses, 3 exams. The videos that you have to watch before the quizzes are annoying, its like the professor tried to do an ASMR at the same time he's reading. He also reads so slooooow.

Awesome Professor! Highly recommend him! The course was super straight forward and he genuinely wants you to pass the class! He also responds to emails very well! The course consist of weekly work so as long as you do it you should get an A! BUT Just don't get lazy! I've heard people stress about the course bc of the work, but I promise its easy.

Dr. Troup is one of the best professors at CSUB! Super understanding! He bases off grades on 3 exams which he allows you to use a 4x6 notecard for. Gives graded exams back in about a week. Makes asking questions in class easy and is reachable outside of class which in all honesty you won't need because his lectures are easy to understand.

Comment:
Dr. T is great, but not in Eng 500! I took it in 2015- he sits by while Gavin teaches most of the class. Problem is that she talks way too fast, is unstable, gives her QUIC "talk" and then sits down and chats w/Dr T. I got a B but I would have recd an A if class had MORE clarity. Most students cheat and use old papers- puts HONEST AT DISADVANTAGE.

Comment:
Dr. Troup is very nice, but I get the feeling he is a little too comfortable. The class consisted of discussion and group work. There were no lectures or new insights into the material--it felt like he was just phoning it in. A very nice man, but not the most enthusiastic prof I've ever had. I expected to be challenged a bit more in a grad class.

Great professor, knows his stuff and is fairly easy. In bible as lit the tests were mostly fill in the blank with a take home essay. I found it to be really helpful and I learned a lot.

Dr. Troup made linguistics seem easy and he always was there for us when we had questions or needed clarification. He lays it all out and that makes for an easy A if you just put forth the effort and show up! :D Best English professor I;ve ever had!!

His exams are super easy because he lays everything out before hand and as long as you keep good notes, you're golden. Excellent teacher and easy to follow along in his class.
